AI evidence model

Evidence fields

• Source type and identifier.
• Metric or document title.
• Period, filters, and freshness time.
• Value or excerpt supporting the conclusion.

Confidence

Confidence describes quality and consistency of available context, not the probability of business success. Missing, stale, or conflicting data lowers it.

Verifiability

A user must be able to reach the source within their permissions. An inaccessible citation is not useful evidence.
